Dear Prospective QIP Scholar

Your interest in the Quality Improvement Programme (QIP) sponsored by AICTE is appreciated. The main objective of the programme is to upgrade the expertise and capabilities of faculty members of the AICTE approved degree-level engineering institutions. The programme launched by the Government of India in the year 1970, is now being implemented and monitored by the National QIP Coordination Committee, funded through AICTE.

There are three main activities under QIP scheme for the faculty of degree-level engineering institutions: Providing opportunities to teachers of the degree-level engineering institutions to improve their qualifications by offering

admissions to M. Tech and Ph. D. degree programme.

Organizing Short Term Courses at the QIP Centres for serving teachers in various emerging areas of technology & research.

Curriculum Development Cell activities which help to improve the class room teaching and learning.

Nine major QIP centres at IIT and IISc undertake the various activities listed above. Admission to M.Tech & Ph.D programme are also

offered in selected areas in institutions recognized as Minor QIP centres. A large number of teachers from engineering institutions from all

over the country have pursued M. Tech and Ph. D. degree programme under this scheme. These are aimed at improving the standard and

quality of technical education through improvement in the qualifications of the faculty members of the various engineering institutions.

In the past, a Curriculum Development Cell was also set-up at major QIP Centres for improving the effectiveness of technical education in the country. Its activities included curriculum development and revision or preparation of monographs, textbooks, teachers’ manuals,

teaching aids and other resource materials, examination reforms, organizing inter-institutional programs, seminars, workshops and panel

discussions, development of educational technology, creation of methodologies for formal and informal trainings, technical education of

the handicaps, etc. A number of short term courses have also been organized by major QIP Centres for the benefit of the faculty members of Engineering Institutions across the country.

The QIP websites http://cepqip.iitd.ac.in, www.qip.iitb.ac.in, www.iitbhu.ac.in/qip, http://www.iitg.ac.in/cet/qip.html, www.iitk.ac.in/qip,
